How does Otto decide when journeys start and stop?
The iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 plus contain a low-energy motion detection chip, which constantly monitors your acceleration and movement, and this decides whether it thinks you are still, walking, running or in a vehicle. We use this to start and stop location recording.
The chip can occasionally become confused- If you get out of a vehicle and immediately start to run, for instance, it may take some time to decide that you are no longer in a vehicle.
How can I see what time a journey began and ended?
On the Details page, tap and hold any Start or End marker on the map to see its timestamp.
What is a journey type, how do I change it, and how do I select which types of trip I see?
The journey type marks which trips you wish to reclaim expenses for. The type is indicated by a briefcase icon (Business), a house (Personal), or a question mark (for those that have not yet had a type assigned.)
Tap the selector at the bottom of the Trips page to choose which types of trip to view there.
To edit the type for a trip, select it to go to the Details page, then tap the Type selector.
A report will only include business trips by default. You can also include personal and unset trips by enabling a setting before you generate it.
